The week before Halloween will see the commencement of principal photography on Edward Payson’s next project: Our Friend John – The Documentary.

Our Friend Jon, a collaboration between Payson’s prolific production company, An AntiHero Production, and Maria Olsen’s MOnsterworks66, will document the story of how three friends will produce and shoot the short film, Rose Thorn, written by Jonathan Hernandez. What makes this story special is that Jon passed away from complications due to Sickle Cell Anemia while writing the script, and what makes it particularly poignant is that Jon’s three friends, Nick Saporito, Brandon Joyal and Garrett Payson, all lead extremely challenging lives...

What will make this film appeal to horror fans worldwide is that Rose Thorn is a horror film...it was Jon’s wish to become a horror filmmaker, and, by shooting his film and documenting the process, his family and friends will both

Dread Central: Mum's been the word with the producers, Joston "El Rey" Theney and Dr. Christopher Otiko, so. What can you tell us about the film?

DC: You play "Breaker" in the film. What can you tell us about the character? How does she fit into this world?

From the Press Release

Blood Red Films and the filmmakers of Axeman 2: Overkill, the next installment in the 80’s throwback slasher franchise, are pleased to announce the cast of the film, which picks up the story where the original 2014 film Axeman left off.

This new chapter in the Axeman at Cutter’s Creek saga has the goal of being darker, grittier, and bloodier than the original.

The exciting cast of the film, which is written and directed by Joston “El Rey” Theney, includes an all new actor in the iconic villain role of Bill “The Axeman” Talbert. Playing the titular character is former three-time World Champion, WWE’s “Adam Bomb”/ WCW’s “Wrath,” also

Dread Central: The producers, Joston "El Rey" Theney and Dr. Christopher Otiko, have been a little tight-lipped about the script. What can you tell us about the film?

Angelica Bridges: I don't want to give out too many of the gory details, but I will say they are going for more horror, if that's even possible. They will be taking the "killings" in the film to a whole other level of profoundness! People that usually don't ever cover their eyes while watching horror films will probably be starting a new trend after watching this film.

DC: You play "Dungie" in the film. What can you tell us about the character?

Joston Theney dropped us a line with the official word that he's making a sequel to his flick Axeman, which hit DVD a few weeks back. Read on for the first news and details regarding Axeman 2: Overkill.

From the Press Release

On the heels of successful early results from the May 5th release of Axeman, filmmaker Joston “El Rey” Theney and co-writer/executive producer Dr. Christopher Otiko of Blood Red Films announce plans for the sequel, Axeman 2: Overkill.

Another still has arrived for Joston Theney's new project Adam K., and we have this bad boy for you right here. The still features Sarah Nicklin as "Amanda Cole," who's apparently trying desperately to avoid the warm, bloody embrace of the flick's big bad.

"What really makes the killer so scary is that he could literally be any 'normal' guy that you run into on the street," says Nicklin. "He's completely unassuming (until all Hell breaks loose)."

She continues, "I think the biggest impact it would have [on horror fans] is to make people look over their shoulder and be more suspicious of their neighbors or the good samaritans that seemingly just want to help them out because you never know what their ulterior motives might really be."

Writer/director Joston "El Rey" Theney has announced that Adam K. will soon be making its way to theaters and home video. Theney previously said,

The Axeman is coming, and he's ready to make you all sticky. With blood, that is. Or, depending on his mood, maybe with some other bodily fluids as well. In any event, we're giving away 5 copies of the DVD! Sign in to win!

It seems, at least in the horror genre, that the 80s, and especially 80s slasher movies, are back. And as a fan of slasher movies I couldn’t be happier. Of course, like back in its heyday, the modern slasher has its good and its bad. In the grand scheme of slasher movies, Axeman sits somewhere in the middle – with enough decent kills to rise above the flotsam but with not enough of a meaty story to really count itself amongst the greats.

We told you yesterday that Joston Theney's new project Adam K. is finally on its way and even brought you the first images from the film. Know what that means? That's right! Exclusive time! Check out the goodies right here!

Writer/director Joston "El Rey" Theney has announced that Adam K. will soon be making its way to theaters and home video. Theney previously said, "In early fall we'll have the Los Angeles premiere, then a Bay Area showing. Some festivals have reached out to us, but we're only going to do about two or three of those."

The director of Axeman at Cutter's Creek, Joston Theney, is back with a new horror title, Adam K. This latest horror feature deals with an insecure insurance claims manager, who turns to murder when rejected. This film was recently completed in Los Angeles. And, Adam K stars Dylan Hobbs, Adam Kraul, Arielle Brachfield, Brinke Stevens and Jessica Cameron. A poster and synopsis is available for the film, found here. Apparently, production on this film was temporarily halted. Police attended the shoot when one actress' screams were heard several blocks away. Director Theney said of the shoot and encounter: "we were filming a riveting sequence with two terrific actresses, Sarah Nicklin and Kristin Wall Wheatley, when the Los Angeles Police Department responded to their cries for help." Still, production was completed and fans of horror can preview Adam K here. Release Date: October 31st, 2014 (Tba). Director/writer: Joston Theney. Cast: Dylan Hobbs,
